With 68.46% of reports in, Ariana Grande is set to have the number one album and debut. Ariana is one of the Nickelodeon stars from the iCarly universe. The debut single (“The Way”) from this album was co-written by Idol’s Jordin Sparks. Tamar Braxton is nipping at Ariana’s heals. In case you are wondering, yes, she is related to Toni Braxton (younger sister).
Nine Inch Nails (3), John Legend (4), Jaheim (6) and Bastille (9) are also debuting albums in the top 10 this week. Luke Bryan continues to sell well in 5th. Robin Thicke and Justin Timberlake (I swear these two switched album styles this round) are 7th and 8th. Imagine Dragons close out the top 10.
One Direction represents the reality singing show contestants. Their “Take Me Home” is still being taken home and they are at 32nd.
